The New York Times is complicit in all the genocidal shit happening to trans people right now. For over a decade they were turning public opinion against trans rights and equality.

I sure hope so.

I don't disagree with you. People assumed I was against this but I was highlighting the fact that Russia is going to be more aggressive as Ukraine gets closer to being part of NATO.

I think I speak for the entire community when I say we are not going to do that.

This isn't just symbolic though, it is the normalization of "confederates and nazis good, gay people bad". It is the indoctrination of children of false information and rewritten history. It is erasure. It is a form of oppression.

I agree that most Republican voters don't care about this stuff much. They won't care about what Trump/Musk regime does until it hurts them directly and plainly.

This issue is still worth fighting and caring about. We are many people, and we can tackle many issues simultaneously. Just because republicans in power are nazis and Republican voters have been successfully manipulated, does not mean we stop fighting. We push back on every injustice.

There's nothing wrong with trans children getting gender-affirming surgery either, as long as it is under the supervision of a doctor and follows current WPATH guidelines.

Gender-affirming surgeries are the opposite of mutilation.

Honestly fuck the younger queers.

These piss babies deserve the violence coming towards them that my generation sacrificed majorly to fight against since they wanna pretend to be oppressed let them taste real oppression.

I am a 40+ queer gal.

You were never wrong that using they/them pronouns for someone you don't know (or don't remember) isn't misgendering someone. You were right about that.

I understand you are angry about the ban and that people didn't seem to understand the point you were making about pronouns, but the way you are escalating your responses to any criticism has gotten out of hand. Look at what you just wrote: "fuck the younger queers" and they "deserve violence"?

This is not okay. This is abusive behavior toward an entire group of people.

The issue now isn't about they/them pronouns. The issue now is you sound like a danger to young queer people in this moment. You are who they should be afraid of right now.

Alphabet and Meta might be at that point soon, with the way things are going.

"Ooh, Ellison smoke. Don't breathe this!"

Thanks!

There is an app called Private Lock that will put the phone in lockdown if the accelerometer is triggered to a certain degree. It can work even when the screen is off.
